"Then, in the darkest hour, when almost all hope was lost against the evil coach Schiano, a band of brave Volunteers stood up against his threat and repulsed the attack against our great university!"

Good read.. It was a piss poor choice and they got called out on it by lots of people, not just the fans. You'd think a brand new AD might vet someone a little better but I think this was going to be rammed through regardless.. They just didn't expect the backlash they got. Out of touch.

OMG! What a clear concise un-emotional assessment. Can't wait for part 2. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Media boys. I did not like the defaming of schiano on the rock at all. Felt he was just accepting an opportunity offered him. But this was right on!

another great read, and teh link to the SI article about haslam and the browns is fantastic.

loved this:
On draft weekend, the front office looked stupid when someone granted Grantland’s Chuck Klosterman special access to cover the Cleveland draft room, then had it rescinded at the last minute. Wrote Klosterman: “The Browns live in a state of perpetual war, endlessly convincing themselves that every scrap of information they possess is some kind of game-changing superweapon that will alter lives and transmogrify the culture. They behave like members of a corporate cult.’’

Word leaked at 3 p.m. on the last day of the season, during the last game, that Chudzinski could be fired after his first year, and five hours later, as the Browns returned to Cleveland from Pittsburgh, it happened. Team leader D'Qwell Jackson's reaction: “We fired Chud? Are you kidding me?’’

Another coaching search. Three guys they liked—coordinators Josh McDaniels, Adam Gase and Dan Quinn—all pulled out with their teams still in play. None would say the truth: The job was toxic,

Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer were strong in recommendations for fired Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano—Belichick called twice—and here’s where I hear there was a major rift in the organization. Banner wanted nothing to do with Schiano. Haslam was intrigued with him after the over-the-top recommendation from Belichick. The group flew to Tampa to interview Schiano, and one source said Banner was cold to Schiano, not participating much in the interview. Banner likely thought Schiano would be a disastrous hire, given all the negatives in recent Cleveland history. He was probably right, but the owner was open to it, and when the owner’s open to it, the man running football operations should at least consider it.

Reading these are beyond depressing. It just shows how much of a failure the UT administration has been. Now Peyton Manning, the prodigal son and my favorite athlete ever, has sided with this cancerous group.
